Hate reared its ugly head again, this time in Rajasthan, where a man was hacked and then burnt alive in the name of opposing 'Love Jihad'. The murderers also shot a video of the victim and uploaded it on the internet.

The murdered man, Afrajul, was reportedly a labourer from West Bengal. The police later found his charred remains.

In the video, the murderer is seen to be attacking the victim with a sharp weapon repeatedly and then faces the camera to warn “jihadis” in India that all of them will face the same fate if they don't “quit jihad”. He then sets the victim on fire.

Rajasthan Home Minister Gulab Chand Kataria said the accused has been arrested and a special investigation team set up, news agency Asian News International reported:

It is shocking how he killed the man and made a video of it. Accused has been arrested and a special investigation team (SIT) has been set up for investigation in the case: Gulab Chand Kataria, #Rajasthan Home Minister on incident in Rajsamand where a man was burnt to death. pic.twitter.com/4d7vbPc3NH

Later in the day DIrector-General of Gujarat Police OP Galhotra indicated the murdered might be of unsound mind. "Prima facie, it does not look like this is done by a normal human being," he said, according to ANI.

Despite the gravity of the situation the political circle hardly took note. Though West Bengal Chief Minister tweeted her condemnation:

We strongly condemn the heinous killing of a labourer from Bengal in Rajasthan. How can people be so inhuman. Sad

The video from Rajsamand is totally pathetic and sickening. Leave aside, whether fascism will be defeated or not. The damage which has been done to the social integrity is real and will haunt India for decades. Go to hell you dhongi greedy power hungry ghouls.
